Learn how to use anger constructively to enhance your sex life! Sex and Anger are uniquely connected. Unresolved anger is often linked to sexual boredom and low sexual desire in long-term relationships, and can be a huge factor in sexual dysfunction such as erectile and ejaculatory issues.

 

Veronica Monet will explain the important distinctions between angry sex, make-up sex, rough sex, dominance, and BDSM; how to have constructive conflict and how to manage your anger instead of controlling it or acting it out. Anger Management provides a healthy outlet for anger and rage, providing fuller access to sexual response.

 

This workshop will teach you the Ten Steps Toward Anger Management and how it can enhance your sex life! This workshop includes: role playing, x-rated power point presentation, demo of some kinky gear, flogging and spanking. 

Adults only.

 

This month, author and performance artist, Joanna Frueh, defies both the dominant culture's beauty myths and the feminist paradigms which tend to deny the merits of beauty. Exercises for this podcast include tips for you to discover your unique interpretation and expression of beauty.

The Shame Free Zone is a safe place to share your secrets, express emotions and experience profound empathy.

 

I create The Shame Free Zone in everything I do:

 

1.) sessions at my office in Nevada City, California

2.) house calls to couples' homes

3.) my many workshops

4.) my books, blogs and online column

5.) my two radio programs

 

Much of what goes into creating The Shame Free Zone occurs inside of me before I ever invite someone to join me there. I have worked diligently for many years to free myself of shame. That isn't to suggest that I don't still experience shame from time to time or rather persistently with a few select topics. I do.

 

And my attention to the process and my commitment to becoming less and less shame based in my own life, becomes a real asset to others who wish to tap into the many gifts which come from living free of shame. Shame weighs us down, limits our ability to be spontaneous and joyful, hinders our creativity, reduces our productivity and ultimately takes a toll on both our emotional and our physical health.

 

I delight in meeting shame with acceptance and love. I am amazed by the transformations which result from the simple and sincere energy of unconditional acceptance. Some clients come to see me with the express purpose of unloading a lifetime of shameful secrets. They leave my office feeling a hundred pounds lighter and thoroughly energized.

 

But not all the visits to The Shame Free Zone are as easy as dumping the shame at my feet. Most of my clients follow-up with the homework I assign - which incidentally must be some of the most enjoyable homework ever designed. I have a lot of fun tailoring assignments to the specific needs of individual clients. It might be a masturbation meditation or learning to activate erogenous zones which contain powerful emotions. Or I might suggest a series of role plays to eliminate recurring relationship drama.

 

What are the long-term effects of entering The Shame Free Zone?

 

Based upon what I have seen in the lives of my clients over the years, it appears to be:

 

1. Self-Acceptance

2. Self-Love

3. Self-Esteem

4. More Intense Orgasms

5. More Loving Relationships

6. Increased Confidence

7. A Renewed Passion for Living

 

But the one thing I notice above all else is the Sparkle in my clients' eyes. When I see that, I know I have helped them to move from shame and shut-down - to freedom and joy. I can think of no greater sense of fulfillment.
